So I was having aa quick Look at the rafale for sim/first person CAS/bombing runs. It appears that the Rafale currently uses a very archaic CCRP for laser bombs, as, for exemple, to drop a GBU, you need to point the HUD towards the target to get the CCRP circle, while other top tiers have a more “realistic mode CCRP” that is far more usable. Does anyone have any information on the Rafales CCRP, so that It could be reported (I did not see it in the first post reports list).
Also, for some very weird reason, all of the Rafale’s laser guided weapons are missing time to hit, even in TPOD view, which is not the case for other planes, such as the EFT that came I the same update. Has a report been done about it ? If not, I’ll make one when I have time

Ohhh it’s this one. Thanks. That’s weird it still is not implemented. Maybe they have some issues with the flight path of the AASM, but they should at least add it for GBUs
Edit : which does not make sense since hellfires and brimstones have pretty decent time to hit estimations
Tbh, just rush SBU-38 and call it a day, you wont need any of the other Bombs unless you want to strike convoys - even though I leave convoys for F-15E, F-16 or EFT players depending in which Team I am at the moment.
its still kind of funny how they are trying to compare it to a jet explicity not allowed to be exported.
maybe they were afraid of backlash from Dassault, since i dont think Lockheed would care that much.
is this french name for JDAM or just coincidence of numbers?
NATO designation for AASM with GNSS guidance.
Already have the plane spaded. It’s mostly for when I use the center bomb that CCRP is nice to have.
Also time to hit estimations is useful for the central bomb but also when I want to use the SBU54 in GRB (not enough SP for 64, or because there are to many dead bodies around the enemies, so 64 will lock undesired targets).
Time to hit for SBU54 would be especially interesting for long range shots using GNSS and switching to laser at the correct time. Currently because it’s so slow its pretty hard to estimate
SBU 38 is the GNSS only AASM
Thats also an interesting use case.
That’s basically how the EFT uses brimstones to its max potential. GPS map marker, fly low towards the ground map, fire a few brimstones in GPS mode. When they are 5s from hitting, pull up and activate laser designator, re-aim if necessary. That allows the Eft to be below Pantsir and other SAMs coverage for most of the time
Idk why you were flagged, but since I see the entirety of your message from my mail notification, i can answer.
Both anti air are pretty uncommon at top tier, especially the strela. Even then, I don’t find them very hard to flare especially when you fly low to the ground, since those SAM really shine against high flying targets. I think I can personally count on one hand the amount of time I’ve been killed by 81C since they have been introduced, considering their rarity for exemple
No idea, with Brimstones you always end up in the short range hard to defeat SAM envelope.
That Pantsir you clowned on spawns a Strela and while you are defending from another Pantsir/Roland.
Japan is very popular right now with the recent sales. I have a seen a few Type 81Cs
They blind side you.
Rafale B for Egypt (?) spotted, unpainted
Well I got plenty of messages flagged for no reason so maybe that’s the reason
if its 200km+ with 838 T/R modules, imagine what other AESA radars and next gen Rafale AESA can do
rangeMax in-game is set to 300km, tho range is set to 130/100/160km for LPRF/MPRF/HPRF (not sure of the exact complexities between range and rangeMax, pretty sure range is for a target of a predefined RCS, while rangeMax is the max range it can see anything at)
Yes, a report is already forwarded asking for ranges of that type.
We can hopefully look forward to:
Range velocity: 225km
LPRF or look-up: 180km
HPRF/PD-HDN: 180km
MPRF: 112km
Conversely Captor-M which is its counterpart is currently:
Range velocity: 185km
LPRF or look-up: 150km
HPRF/PD-HDN: 150km
MPRF: 80km
So RBE2 radar should enjoy roughly 20% greater ranges.
But we are also asking for all of this combined simultaneously so it may take some time to have it modeled.
